It takes an average of $583 a year to support a young, healthy bird, who may be with us for upwards of two years, or even with us in lifelong residency if needed. Cost of living increases substantially for special needs and geriatric parrots, who now make up most of Free Flight’s flock.

Sponsorship is a way to improve the quality of life for a parrot while she/he is in the sanctuary through monthly donations.

Do you have a favorite bird that you visit at Free Flight or enjoy on social media? Or perhaps you simply want to help Free Flight fulfill our mission? Whatever the reason may be, your support is invaluable to help us care for our birds.

Use the links below to set up your monthly donation! You can cancel at any time.

A monthly donation of any amount is greatly appreciated and will support the well-being of your favorite bird. However, if you would like to fully cover the monthly cost of care for a bird, we suggest:

• Any amount to support the “Love Them All” fund!

• $25 for small birds
  (Conures, Caiques, Pionus, etc.)

• $40 for medium birds
  (Amazons, African Greys, Eclectus, Lesser Sulfur-crested Cockatoos, Goffin’s Cockatoos, Ring-necked Parakeets, etc.)

• $60 for large birds
  (Macaws, Umbrella Cockatoos, Moluccan Cockatoos, Sulfur-crested Cockatoos, etc.)

If you’re looking for a bird to sponsor, visit our Meet the Flock page for a list of our resident parrots and links to their individual profiles.
